GV II
Pair of houses. Probably c.1870. Mostly brown brick in header bond, with some red brick, sandstone dressings, and some applied "half-timbering"; slate roofs. Irregular plan with tower to left and projecting wing to right (probably an early C20 addition). North German vernacular style. Two storeys except for 3-storey tower, 2:3:3 windows, with some red brick bands. The centre has a doorway to the left, with a trefoil stone head, a large 3-light casement to the right, and 3 windows at 1st floor (1, 2 and 1 lights) each under a gablet projected from the roof, the centre larger. The tower to the left has a canted bay window at ground floor, 2 single-light windows at 1st floor, another single-light window at 2nd floor under a projected steeply-pitched half-dormer roof, corbelled corners, and a tall steeply-pitched hipped roof (the return side has, inter alia, 2 similar gableted windows at this level). The wing to the right has (inter alia) a recessed canted bay window at ground floor, the upper floor carried on stone columns either side, a stone balcony with cast-iron railings to the left 1st-floor window, and ornamental half-timbering in the gable. Part of small but distinctive settlement (The Grove) said to have been built for immigrant North German community; rare example of domestic architecture reflecting cosmopolitan nature of C19 Manchester society. Forms group with items in The Grove (q.v.) and Nos 803-5 Wilmslow Road (q.v.).
